  The Nandi Hills, Bannerghatta forest ranges and the Kaveri valley/Sangam area are included in addition to the Bangalore city limits roughly extending 40 kilometres around the city centre. The area has been studied from early times due to its climate and accessibility during the Colonial period. This list also includes annotations.
